Ok... calmly walking over the the fridge to apologize to my potatoes before removing them from there.😬
LOL
Same here😳! I thought because I sliced them and there were extra I should put in freezer bag and store them there!
Same here....
I the winter I keep my in the garage but in hot months I put them in the refrigerator.
Potatoes:
- Cool dark place ( cool doesn't mean fridge lol)
- In a paper bag preferably and leave the top open.
- They can last 3-6 months.
- Never store near onions , bananas or apples because these things produce some gases that are not good for potatoes.
- Never store in sunlight.
Yup
@@jerryjamesstone So what do you do if you live in a warm and hot climate?
Thank You,you saved my potatoes 😁
Glad I could help!
Wow! That’s super simple. I’ve been storing my potatoes and onions side by side 🤦🏼♀️ thank you!!!!!!!!!
Of course
Love these “how to store” videos!!
Glad you like them! I love saving peopel money and fighitng food waste
That's awesome! How do you store pears? I feel like they're hard when you buy them, and then when they're ready to eat, you have one day to eat them all, haha@@jerryjamesstone
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
THANK YOU So Much!
You're welcome!
Thank you. My wife and I used to keep our potatoes in a large stainless pot with a lid thinking we were protecting them from the light ..These are store-bought Idaho potatoes usually, five or 10 pound bag, and we would also keep them in the same pot with the lid with any onions we bought. So I learned never keep potatoes near onions or bananas or garlic, keep them ventilated, and never store them in plastic from your video. Thanks
happy to help
Hi so how do you store them now exactly? And how long have they lastwd
Good job! New subscriber.
Thank you, Kathleen!
You deserve more than thanks1
🥰
Thank for video very nice to store
Most welcome
0:33 said that with a blinding halo behind you :)
Also about the storage .. i saw how chips are made, the company it was about said they store potatoes for about 18 months before they process them ..
interesting
Thanks for the video
Welcome!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Thank you. I was doing it all wrong. No more nasty potatoes at the end of the week
Woot!
Thank you!!!😃
You're welcome!
Thank you for this. Am storing in paper bag, its old fashioned way.
Cool
I live in a small apartment and I don’t think anywhere is as cool as you suggest. Going to try the open bag I’ve never tried that before and maybe the pantry. I’ll let you know
please do
Wow so many tips....
Yup
I've actually had the most luck storing them in the fridge in a closed brown paper bag. I've had them last fresh for 1+ months. I'd rather store them someplace else since they take up precious fridge-space, but options are very limited when living in a one-bedroom apartment.
it will change the starches
@@jerryjamesstone How? In what ways will that affect the potato?
Do they taste the same when you cook them? I’m reading everywhere that it makes the potato sweet when you keep them in the refrigerator. Is this true?
U told about the right temp . Can you give some examples in the house where to keep potatoes?
pantry, garage
Thanks!
No problem!
Hey, what to do to kp them from sprouting, just can't do ANYTHING about it. Its autumn already at my place with temperatures running bw 28-33 degrees and humidity in atmosphere! And they're madly sprouting after next day of buying, no matter where I kp them! Help!
must be too humid if they are sprouting like that. store in a cool dark dry place
Hi Jerry, you did mention not to keep them on a shelf so where is the best surface to place the paper bags
You can put them on the shelf as long as the other stuff is set.
love the TAT t shirt from her SBTB days....i had a BH90210 one from the original show....lol
Nice!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Question: How about storing the potatoes in a brown bag and in a vegetable drawer without any other vegetables? Great short video!
i would not do it that way
What kind of fridge do you have? I keep/kept mine in my criper too by themselves and they DO go bad within days
That’s why a cool pantry is better
Great simple Vids. Lovem
Thx!
Potatoes in the garage? Hm. I never would have thought of that. Good thing I have a garage now. Thanks!
Glad to help
That was awesome! Do you store veggies longterm?
just as a chef, not a grower
Thanks
Sure
Thankyou sir
sure!
I've just harvested some potatoes from my garden, and I also have a lot of very small potatoes which are too small to eat, but I'd like to plant out next year. Can I store them in my underground cellar over the winter period?
yes!
Real helpful tips.To store potatoes better, some suggest to buy potatoes with dirt on them. Is this true?
I would not reccomend
Jeremy from Jersey just subscribed
Nice!!!
No fridge because it's too cold? Or also due to being closed up? I was thinking of storing them in a small wine cooler around 50-55F but still closed up like a fridge just not so cold. Would that work?
the fridge is too cold, converts the startches and changes the flavor
I've stored them in the lower shelve of my kitchen cupboard, usually in the net type bag they come in so they have plenty of air around them. They seem to only last about 2 to 4 weeks. I don't use the often, and when I need them, they often would have started to sprout. Any advice? Thanks...
try a paper bag, are you storing them near other things?
@@jerryjamesstone Thanks, I'll try a bag. No other foods in that cupboard. I thought in the net they have plenty of air around them. Maybe too much? Thanks...
Hi there, so the last bunch of small potatoes I purchased from Trader Joe's went soft within about 2 weeks. They were in a dry cupboard on the bottom shelf on the north side of the house, so not on a hot wall. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Jerry.. thanks for the video. I’m not a potato person. Someone gave it to me a lot of potatoes before they left for a long holiday. How to avoid getting these tiny roots/stems popping from the eyes of potatoes. It’s been jus a week or two, it’s not gone bad but have roots grown all over it. I could make a potato farm but I really don’t want a farm:) let me know if u know how
probably storing them next to something you shouldnt that is high ethylene?
Great video. However, I would totally buy that t-shirt!
ha
i'm shocked more people haven't watched this. great tips, ty
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol growth hormone well if you eat enough potatoes they will become a growth hormone ha ha🤣 I love your video and potatoes 🥔
Thx!!!
I briefly store potatoes in the frig. The conversion of starch to sugars is what your body does during digestion. I've not noticed any adverse effect of refrigerating potatoes.
they gross tasting
What if you live in south Mississippi? What would you recommend?
Do you have a basement or cellar you could store them in?
Wow, and to think I was storing mine in its original plastic bag literally right next to the bananas and close to the garlic...🥴 Thank you for the video!!!
You're welcome!
Wow I store my potatoes in the fridge at 45 degrees all the time and they last for a really long time and they are by themselves. But I’m wondering as you said the sugar content goes up. I’m just wondering if that’s why my A1C isn’t budging.
I def wouldn’t store them there
@@jerryjamesstone okay so where then???? I wouldn’t put them in the garage. Maybe in the basement. I did try and I put them in a box and I ended up with with eyes on all of them 😂
I still didn’t find the answer Im looking for. I live in an apartment and not sure where to put them? I know in a bag and keep it open, but it’s a single floor apartment ya know? Where do I put them? In the kitchen? The living room? I don’t really have much options. Hopefully someone can help me.
What part of your apartment is coolest? Do you have a pantry or closet that is cool?
I ate the most wrinkled potatoes l had recently and they were sweet and it was yummy. No problem for me.
Maybe l will put some in the freezer before cooking so they turn sweet.
uhhhh
So would bottom of pantry still be ok if garlic and onions are up way higher?
Yes
Great tips!!! But I ran out of brown bags. At least happy to see Kelly Kapowski on your t-shirt!
Ha
Came here because I was about to make some mashed potatoes with russet potatoes and it smelled funky. Turns out they were going bad and maggots were growing on them 🤢 I stored them in a dark place with the mesh bag in came in but there was no ventilation and it was near shallots??? Not sure if that made a difference too, but the shallots are in the plastic container I got from the store. Thanks for the information!
Glad I could help
thank you i love potatoes
Me too!
I read storing potatoes with garlic will prevent sprouting and can b stored upto 3-4 months.
Any suggestions for 45-50 I have no place that is cold like that, Florida
I have to look into it
Wine fridge. Not regular fridge
Can we stack them on top of each other in the brown paper bag?
yes
thx
You're welcome!
What temperature are you storing them in?
colder than room
Do you think basement under steps is good
Sure, as long as it's cool and dry.
Nice
Thanks
Thank you! I ALSO wash them vigorously under the tap when I get them. I hold them under the tap water and rub them to get the dirt off. They seem to last longer that way. They come from the ground so we never know what is on them right? I then dry them, bone dry, before I store them. Your idea will be an improvement! :-)
Welcome!
I clean mine as soon as I get them home as well. Nasty, nasty dirt.
@@thebewitchinghour831 but it's good type of dirt~ simply the earth
@@mytruth3777 ahh yes, delicious fertilizer, aka manure
For all potatoes? Together okay? Sweet and yellow and russet
Love the video!
yes
thanks!
Thank you for the tip. How about onion?
